John Strehle, CFA, is the managing partner of Verbatim Advisory Group. John has spent the past 17 years in intelligence gathering and analysis. After graduating from Hamilton College, he served as a Naval Intelligence Officer focused on Middle East activities. He then worked at Accenture's Seattle office and earned an MBA at the University of Washington, followed by 5 years in New York as an Analyst for funds at Prudential and Oppenheimer. While on Wall Street, he became an advocate of bottom-up, interview-based research, finding this type of information flow – if properly treated and statistically significant – to be more reliable than sell-side and management sources. With Verbatim, he created a platform with the information-gathering power of more than 100 seasoned staff members and a process that integrates each data point into an investable conclusion.
